CAGIE Lined Journal Notebook, 320 Pages College Ruled Notebook, 100 Gsm Paper Thick Leather Journal, A5 Hardcover Journals for Writing Women Men Work Note Taking Diary, 5.7x8.3 In, Green

I have been looking for this notebook. I didn't want a full legal pad size, nor did I want a "regular" skinny journal size, so the A5 is just right. I wanted a pen loop, an elastic band to hold it closed, and a small pocket. This fit the bill perfectly. I have tried several that fit the bill but would not hold up to fountain pen ink. So, the first thing I did was to test the paper. This notebook advertises 100gsm. Many of the other notebooks I tried claimed to be 100gsm, but they were not. This notebook feels like 100gsm, and I believe it to be. The pages feel smooth crisp and awesome. I grabbed some ink and pens and tested the notebook with the following nibs: <EF>, <F>, and <M>. and the following inks: Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black, Ostrich 221 Black, Diamine Writers Blood, and Diamine Green/Black. I made some thick lines with heavy line variation, some scribble swatches, writings, drawings, and feeder stress tests in the notebook. There was not one instance of ghosting, shadowing, bleed through, feathering, or any other issue. The reverse side of the page was as usable as the front. The paper is smooth as silk, and it is an excellent notebook. At a far better price than some of the other offering out there. It has an index, an area to write a page number, a date space at the top, and appears very good quality. I am going to immediately order more before they are gone. Most highly recommended!
